Jon, I'm so sorry to hear about your mother. I had occasion to talk with her, probably a couple years ago about library stuff, and when she realized I knew you, she had nothing but good things to say. She loved you so much and was so proud of you. Rightly so, of course! I won't be able to attend the funeral, but please know you and your family are in my prayers.
